The Let's Play Archive

Adverts by Project Wonderful

Hey, adverts can be pretty annoying, right? I know how it is; I don't like it when I'm browsing a site and I accidentally trigger an awful flash ad where a big, freakish iPhone starts singing at me. That's why here on the Let's Play Archive we'll only ever serve up nice banners that behave properly.

That's not too surprising. It's been a few decades since the travel routes there stopped. However, since you dispatched the Sand Dragon, we may be able to open trade routes again. It's still rough around the edges, and probably dangerous, but someone with your skill might learn something.

Whoa! Exploring unknown lands is a HUGE job!

Um, thank you for the offer, Perriend, but I still have to save my village...

Yes, I know. Linca.

The continent to the east is told to be less affected by the Dusk than Stellard.

If the Dusk isn't influencing that area, there could be a solution to our drought problem there.

Really?!

The documents are very old, so we can't be positive, but if there's a chance...? It may be worth looking into.

Ohh, I'm so tired... Harry and Reyfer dragged me all over the place...

So those two came along, too...? I don't see them, though...

They didn't want to leave and said "We'll stay here!", so I left them.

Seriously?

I'd be more worried if it was just Harry, but I guess as long as Reyfer is with him, they'll be fine.

Uh, what are you talking about?

Oh! Hey, Shallies! I actually just came back from the eastern continent.

Really? The eastern continent...

It sounds like youc an go now that the dragon is gone. Did you look into it already?

You're pretty quick to pick up on these things...

Central knows the continent exists, but it's still a mostly unexplored land.

That's why I wanted to see what it was like over there.

So what did you see?

it's just like you said, there're much fewer signs of drought there. There were flowers everywhere...

Mmm... What else?

Well, I didn't really check if anything was edible, but a lot of stuff looked really tasty!

...That's good, thank you. Please get some rest, Escha.

Wait, what?

Ugh, in other words, we still hardly know anything.

Mmm...!

It's strange to hear you raise your voice like that... What's wrong?

I came because Perriend asked me to investigate the eastern continent.

The... Chairman...?

Yes! He said there could be a way to stop the droughts!

...Damn old man.

Me too! I'll go with her!

Calm down, you two. I don't plan on sending anyone else over there for now.

Nooo... Really? Why?

The route is pretty long, and the entire thing is yet to be secured. We can't start the investigations without a supply route.

Could maybe I go first? My village is threatened by a drought!

No. It's too dangerous.

Escha went there on her own! We'll be fine! We beat a Sand Dragon!

Don't overestimate yourself. Do you think you can beat that thing alone? Especially you, Shallotte. You don't have people following you or a ship or the ability to take care of yourself. You need to have both feet on the ground before you start running.

...I...

...

...

Shallie...

I'll go.

Jurie...

I heard everything.

They were shouting pretty loudly.

You can't tell a treasure hunter not to explore.

I don't want to stop you... Unlike these two.

No, them too. If they need something and it's on the eastern continent, they need to go.

I'm not saying they can't go, they just need to wait. Everyone from the Union is still tired from fighting the dragon. They'll have their assignment once the route is secure. Just... Wait for now.

I'll go with them.

Please, Raoul. Kortes and Teo will be with us, too.

Really? That's still not enough...

Solle. Eastern continent. Go now, yes?

Yes, Homura, the route is open. Though it is dangerous.

Dangerous adventure. I welcome it. Hurry. Ready ship.

Still not enough?

Just do what you want.

Yay! Thank you, all!

Heh. Sounds fun.

Well then, here is your official mission. But, I cannot guarantee your safety, since the route isn't secured... Crossing beyond the Eastern Sea of Smoke, follow the wear of the land to a settlement called Faav Village.

Faav Village?

Yes. It's the only place on the eastern continent that we've had contact with. You can meet up with the people I know.

Okay!

Escha, Solle, what about you two?

Although I think my time would be better spent here, investigating the eastern continent sounds interesting. And for you, Raoul, I would be able to keep an eye on them.

I just back so... I guess I could help out a little in showing everyone around. I'm not sure how much I'd help, though...

Well... I guess it could turn out well, if everyone stays safe. Still, I know I've said it already, but don't push yourselves too hard... Or get hurt. Especially you, Shallie!

...

Sheesh...

That was a bit much...

She was getting carried away by the Sand Dragon incident. That's when you're in the most danger. There's no one around to tell her any different. If no one else will say it, I have to say it msyelf.

She'll be fine. Jurie and Homura will be with her.

Leave to me. Solle. But reward be. Lots of shiny.

Shallie... (I should speak with her before we leave...) Well, if there's nothing else...

We should get ready. I've just got a few things to get, Shallie, and I'll be headed to your ship.

Escha, Homura and I will get ready from here.

I am. Always. Ready!

This might be more dangerous than the Sand Dragon, Shallie. Don't ever get careless out there. We have no idea what to expect.

I heard about the survey team heading east. Do you know anything about the route they're taking?

Oh, actually, yeah. Just a little. Are you interested in the eastern continent?

Yep.

What I remember is, after crossing the Eastern Sea of Smoke, you follow the terrain to a settlement...

Oh hmm, that sounds tough... Ugh, but I still need to go...

Are you looking for something? It seemed like that when we first met, too...

What's with that face?

Seriously?

Sorry I didn't tell you sooner... Though I have spent a lot of time with alchemists, so I know a good amount. That's why I can still teach you alchemy for a little while longer. I can help you out until you're ready to go off on your own.

You're still my master. That won't change!

Thanks... So, part of my training is forming contracts with spirits. I wanted to look for one in the east.

Oh, well... Do you want to go there together?

Huh?

I'm going there with Shallie and the others, so, you could come too... If you want...

I can't believe how vast the Dusk Sea is... Every time I see it, it amazes me how it manages to go on and on.

I don't think anyone can even see all of the Dusk Sea. From Stellard you can get an amazing look at it, but it's only when you're on a ship like this can you really understand how big it. Even if I traveled for my entire life, I don't think I could see it all. Especially if it keeps growing.

But that's why we're here, right? To stop the spread.

Of course.

So you're a witch, right?

Well, yes, but I'm still kind of inexperienced...

With the kind of power you have, I'm not sure if I believe that. How do you become a witch? Do you have to practice for a long time?

Hm, well... Why are you so interested?

I had a little talk with Shallistera one day, and I was thinking I might write a book while traveling and working with the Union and Shallie. It's going to be a book about the different kinds of people I've met while traveling the Dusk Sea. A witch would make a great entry in the book, don't you think?

That does sound pretty interesting. Well, it all starts with...

Oh...are we still traveling?

We haven't reached the Sand Dragon's nest yet! It's going to be a while.

Ugh...why is the Dusk Sea so big? I want to go inside...

Aww! Still, isn't it nice just to look up in the sky and just see everything you can?

I guess... But I think I'd still rather be working in my atelier. I can see the sky from Stellard, you know.
